2008-2009 Annual Report - Saint Raphael Academy

Saint Raphael Academy 

A Catholic Lasallian School of Excellence 

STATE OF THE ACADEMY REPORT 

2008-2009

Dear Friends, 

Nearly four hundred years ago in the city of Rheims, France, St. John Baptist de la 

Salle, a titled young man from an affluent family, founded a teaching order of 

brothers, dedicated to educating all children, regardless of wealth or status. 

Today, the De La Salle Christian Brothers carry out that educational mission in 82 

countries, operating more than 1,000 schools. 

Mission Statement 

Saint Raphael Academy is a Catholic, co-educational, 

college preparatory school, founded in the tradition of 

Saint John Baptist de La Salle, and rooted in the 

Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Academy welcomes a 

student body that is academically, economically and culturally 

diverse. Through its commitment to Christian values, the Academy 

strives for excellence in all programs for the spiritual, academic, 

Saint Raphael Academy maintains a deep commitment to the founding principles 

of St. John Baptist de La Salle: 

• Academic Excellence 

• Concern for the Poor/Social Justice 

• Faith in the Presence of God 

• Inclusivity/Respect for All Persons 

• Dedication to the Teachings of the Gospel 

Saint Raphael Academy is recognized as a living embodiment of these core principles. 

In all that we do, we at Saint Raphael Academy—faculty, staff and volunteers—seek 

to assist today’s parents in the “educational, ethical and religious formation of 

their children.” No calling is more urgent in today’s challenging world, no 

profession more rewarding. 

In the pages of this annual report, you will find highlights of the 2008-2009 

academic year. We believe these selected accomplishments illustrate the 

dynamic, real-world education that is fostered here on Walcott Street. We 

invite you to join us—as a parent, student, teacher, donor, volunteer or friend—in 

helping to bring to daily life the ideals of Saint John Baptist de La Salle. We are proud 

to be part of the Lasallian tradition, and proud that Saint Raphael Academy is such a 

fine example of its worth. 

cultural and physical development of each student. Saint Raphael 

Academy seeks to provide a safe environment that places a priority 

on mutual respect as well as self-discipline. The Academy prepares 

each student for a life dedicated to learning, leadership and 

service to the Church and the community.

Stephanie Tecun ’01 (a fourth-year medical student at Brown) who spoke about her 

volunteer work with a medical clinic in the Dominican Republic, as well as siblings 

Jon Bolano ‘05, Sarah Bolano ‘06 and friends Melissa Idarrago ‘07 and Brandon 

Contreras ‘08, who instructed the students in salsa dancing. 

Highlights of 2008-09 

t 

The Girls Soccer team captured the Division III State Championship for the first time 

in Saint Raphael Academy history. 


English Department Chair David O’Connell was named by the Rhode Island State 

Council of the Arts as the recipient of its prestigious Fellowship in Poetry for 2009. 

David received his M.F.A. in creative writing from Ohio State University and is currently

literary and poetry journals. 


The Boys Tennis team captured top 

honors for the first time in school 

history, winning the Division III 

State Championship. 


At the Rhode Island Model Legislature 

at the State House in Providence, the

unanimous vote. t 

t 

Students collected more than 80 “baby shower” items to be donated to the 

Gabriel Project, a diocesan-sponsored effort to provide assistance to low-income , 

expectant mothers. 

Rhode Island sports legend and SRA coach George Patrick Duffy, whose coaching 

career spans an amazing seven decades, was inducted into the Rhode Island Radio

study for the Moore Scholars for the 2009-2010 academic year. 

The Saint Raphael Academy Drama Club won the Rhode Island State Drama 

Festival for its one-act play “Among Friends and Clutter.” This marks the twelfth time

Academic Excellence 

Here are some of the Colleges and 

Universities offering acceptance 

to members of the class of 2009: 

Many schools offer rigorous academic training to young people, and Saint Raphael 

Academy is proud to be among their number. Fully 99% of our students continue 

their education at several well-known colleges and universities. Our faculty are 

talented and caring, and demonstrate the ideal of lifelong learning for all of 

our students. 

But Academic Excellence is just the starting point of education at Saint Raphael 

Academy. The scholastic achievements highlighted here cannot be viewed solely 

through the prism of college admissions or Ivy League acceptance rates. The purpose 

of a Saint Raphael education is not to separate oneself from one’s peers, but rather 

to embrace them more fully. We believe that education is valuable not because it 

confers distinction, but because it inspires a true appreciation for the deep bonds that 

connect us as equals in the human family 

AP English teacher and Department Chair David 

O’Connell was named recipient of the Rhode Island 

State Council of the Arts Fellowship in Poetry for 2009. 

t 

Librarian Michael Foster serves as moderator for 

the Moore Scholars, a program designed for 

students who excel in intellectual ability and 

creative thinking, who demonstrate talent in 

the visual or performing arts and who wish to 

participate in a multi-disciplinary learning 

community, both in and out of the classroom. 

t

Concern for the Poor 

Social Justice 

It is a truth found throughout all of human history: talent, intellect, virtue and character 

are widely dispersed among the population; opportunity is not. We seek to address this 

disadvantage, first by welcoming rich and poor alike as students at Saint Raphael Academy; and 

second, by challenging all our students, once enrolled, to consider that disparity of 

opportunity through the lens of social justice. 

By focusing on tangible service projects such those we highlight in this report, and through a 

directed study of social justice issues in our religion classes, we seek to enkindle in our students 

a recognition of the dignity of each individual, and a commitment to the ideals of social justice. 

As part of their religious instruction, 

students helped support the Gabriel 

Project of nearby St. Joseph’s Parish, 

by donating baby supplies for poor 

t 

expectant mothers. 

The faculty and students of Saint Raphael Academy joined 

forces to sponsor needy families during the Thanksgiving 

and Christmas holidays. Students prepared and delivered 

Thanksgiving food baskets complete with a turkey and 

the trimmings. At Christmas, they shared their blessings 

by donating food and gifts. Working through local social 

service agencies, SRA assisted more than 40 families in the 

Greater Providence area. 

t 

The Lasallian Youth Program is an organization designed to help young people 

live out the Lasallian mission by performing charitable works, attending leadership 

conferences with fellow Lasallian schools across the country and sponsoring service 

projects in local communities. At Saint Raphael Academy, there are 200 members of 

our Lasallian Youth Program. 

In March, SRA students joined with 

other high schools for a “Homeless 

Sleepout”, sponsored by the Diocese 

of Providence. Students spent the 

night outdoors in cardboard boxes 

to help promote awareness of the 

growing problem of homelessness in 

Rhode Island. 

t 

t 

As part of the world-wide network of 

Lasallian schools, Saint Raphael Academy 

is paired with St. Mary’s School 

in Nyeri, Kenya. Throughout the 

school year, our students in Pawtucket 

are reminded of the hardships 

their counterparts in Nyeri are willing 

to overcome every day just for the 

chance to go to school. We at 

SRA assist our sister school in Kenya 

through fundraisers and prayers.

Inclusivity 

Respect for all Persons 

It’s hard to imagine a truly educated mind arriving at any other conclusion: 

respect for the dignity of others is the foundation of civic and moral integrity. 

At Saint Raphael Academy, we don’t explore this concept in the abstract, or simply 

in the pages of textbooks. We live it every day. Diversity is celebrated everywhere 

on our campus. Diversity of talent, age, language, culture. Diversity of interest, 

opportunity, financial class, ability. Diversity of experience, appearance, ambition. 

The wonderful paradox of diversity is that by embracing our differences, we 

discover how similar we are. 

t 

Fr. Dan Sweet, SRA Chaplain, 

commissioned ten students to serve 

as Eucharistic ministers, assisting with 

liturgies throughout the school year. 

Each morning during the school year, as students assemble in home room, and 

faculty prepare for the workday ahead, Principal Michael Sweeney calls on all of us to 

pause and “Remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.” With those words, 

we collectively offer a morning prayer and conclude with the intention that unites all 

Lasallian schools worldwide: “Live Jesus in our hearts. . .forever!” 

Through this daily ritual, through monthly liturgies, through the efforts of our Pastoral 

Services Department, and through daily religion class, the students of Saint Raphael 

Academy are encouraged to grow in their faith and to become more fully mindful of 

God’s presence in all that they do. 

Faith in the 

Presence of God 

In June, we were blessed to host a very distinguished guest: 

Mr. Thomas Hogan, Class of ‘32, who had expressed a 

wish to re-visit the halls of Saint Raphael Academy . Here, 

Mr. Hogan and his sons are greeted by members of the 

junior and senior classes. Sadly, we received word of Mr. 

Hogan’s death shortly after this visit took place. We were 

lucky to have met this wonderful alumnus. 

t t t 

(L) The ritual square dancing class gets the same reaction 

as when you were in high school: sheepish giggles! Being 

open to new ideas and experiences is part of how we 

encourage a spirit of diversity throughout the Academy, 

even in Phys Ed! 

(R) Our student athletes inherit a proud and lengthy 

sports tradition that includes 48 state titles and 

numerous division championships. 

The Annual Fine Arts Gala showcases the artistic talents 

of the SRA student body 

The student body attends monthly 

liturgies, held at nearby St. Joseph 

Church. 

t 

Each class holds an annual retreat to promote spiritual growth and understanding.

Dedication to the 

Teachings of

Lasallian schools affirm that education consists of more 

than facts, figures and skills; true education forms a person 

towards Christian maturity and responsible character. We 

seek to instill in all of our students an appreciation of and 

commitment to Gospel values such as honor, integrity, 

compassion, truth, service, and forgiveness.

One of Saint Raphael Academy’s most loyal and 

enthusiastic supporters is Mrs. Rose McHale. Rose’s 

husband Joe (’62) was an active Board member 

and passionate advocate for SAINTS when he was 

tragically killed in a car accident six years ago. For 

Rose, part of her healing involved picking up the 

mantle for Joe and continuing his devotion to the 

Academy. 

One very visible manifestation of that devotion 

is the Joseph T. McHale Administration Building, 

located at the corner of Walcott and Maynard 

Streets. This lovely old home was in need of 

significant renovation in order to be usable by the 

Academy as the home of its business offices. In 

memory of Joe, who was Chair of the SRA Board 

at the time the building was purchased, Rose has 

contributed substantial amounts for landscaping, 

new windows, paint and stucco repairs. 

The McHale Building is now a beautiful setting for

make this possible. 

But her concern for Saint Raphael Academy does 

not stop there. Rose is also a member of our School 

Board, a member of our Development Committee, 

a member of our Nominating Committee, and a 

generous contributor to our Annual Fund, to our Fine 

Arts programs, and to our Capital Campaign. Rose is 

also a scholarship sponsor for our students through 

the Joseph T. McHale ‘62 Memorial Scholarship Fund 

and The Thomas and Katherine McHale Memorial 

Scholarship Fund. 

According to Rose, there is one driving force 

behind her generosity. As she has said many times, 

“It is SO important to have a school like SRA in

indebted to her for her leadership and support.
